By Ryan Nakashima The Associated Press Mon., Aug. 13, 2018 SAN FRANCISCO—Google wants to know where you go so badly that it records your movements even when you explicitly tell it not to. An Associated Press investigation found that many Google services on Android devices and iPhones store your location data even if you’ve used privacy settings that say they will prevent it from doing so. Computer-science researchers at Princeton confirmed these findings at the AP’s request. For the most part, Google is upfront about asking permission to use your location information. An app such as Google Maps will remind you to allow access to location if you use it for navigating. If you agree to let it record your location over time, Google Maps will display that history for you in a “timeline” that maps out your daily movements. Storing your minute-by-minute travels carries privacy risks and has been used by police to determine the location of … [Read more...] about Google tracks your movements, like it or not

By Dan Wiederer Chicago Tribune Sat., July 21, 2018 James Jordan hit the road shortly after midnight, cruising into the summer darkness in his red Lexus SC400. Jordan had spent that day — July 22, 1993 —at the funeral of a former co-worker in Wilmington, N.C., later visiting with friends. Now he was headed 3 1/2 hours toward his home in Charlotte, scheduled to fly to Chicago the following day. He never made it. On the same evening, Daniel Green and Larry Demery gathered at a cookout in Lumberton, N.C., two teenage friends hanging out. Within hours, though, their lives converged with the father of the world’s most renowned basketball player. Jordan wound up in a South Carolina swamp, his dead body draped over a tree limb. Green and Demery wound up with life sentences for first-degree murder. Article Continued Below Yet 25 years later, key questions remain unanswered. And with Green bidding for a new trial in the North Carolina justice system, … [Read more...] about Key questions remain unanswered 25 years after Michael Jordan’s father was murdered

By Jay Reeves The Associated Press Thu., July 12, 2018 BIRMINGHAM, ALA.—The U.S. government has reopened its investigation into the slaying of Emmett Till, the black teenager whose brutal killing in Mississippi shocked the world and helped inspire the civil rights movement more than 60 years ago. The Justice Department told Congress in a report in March that it is reinvestigating Till’s slaying in Money, Miss., in 1955 after receiving “new information.” The case was closed in 2007 with authorities saying the suspects were dead; a state grand jury didn’t file any new charges. Deborah Watts, a cousin of Till’s, said she was unaware the case had been reopened until contacted Wednesday by The Associated Press. The federal report, sent annually to lawmakers under a law that bears Till’s name, does not indicate what the new information might be. But it was issued in late March after the publication last year of The Blood of Emmett … [Read more...] about Investigation reopened in brutal slaying of Emmett Till

By Bernard Schiff Special to the Star Fri., May 25, 2018 Several years ago, Jordan Peterson told me he wanted to buy a church. This was long before he became known as “the most influential public intellectual in the Western world,” as he was described in the pages of the New York Times a few months ago. It was before he was fancied to be a truth-telling sage who inspired legions, and the author of one of the bestselling books in the world this year. He was just my colleague and friend. I assumed that it was for a new home — there was a trend in Toronto of converting religious spaces, vacant because of their dwindling congregations, into stylish lofts — but he corrected me. He wanted to establish a church, he said, in which he would deliver sermons every Sunday. “(He) spread his influence across the country and around the world through a combination of religious conviction, commanding stage presence and shrewd use of radio, television … [Read more...] about I was Jordan Peterson’s strongest supporter.
